This Pro Value Metro column is a decorative wood column for island ends, cabinet panels, and peninsula returns where a full-depth profile is the right call.
At 3-1/2 inches in both width and depth, this column reads as a full section rather than a thin applied face. That distinction matters at the end of an island or a peninsula: where a 1-1/2-inch split section presents a flat column face, a 3-1/2-inch section turns the corner and holds its proportion when viewed from multiple angles. The Metro profile keeps the geometry clean and linear, which suits contemporary and transitional kitchens where an ornate traditional column would be out of place. The depth also means the cabinet end or framing behind it needs to account for the projection, so it is worth confirming the island's finished dimension before specifying this column versus a shallower applied section.
Cherry is a fine-grained domestic hardwood with a warm, reddish-brown tone that deepens over time with light exposure. It is a common species in higher-end cabinetry programs, and one of the reasons these columns are offered in cherry, maple, and alder is so the column can be specified in the same species as the surrounding cabinets and finished in the same system rather than stained to approximate another wood. The piece arrives unfinished, ready for the shop's finishing process. No stain match to an existing cabinet is guaranteed by species alone; finishing conditions, grain variation, and aging all affect the result.
This column is the right choice at a kitchen island end where the column will be visible from more than one side and a full-profile presence is wanted, at a raised bar or counter where the column anchors the corner visually, or at the end of a cabinet run in a room where the column reads from an angle. At 36 inches it lines up with standard counter height. It is a decorative applied piece and carries no structural load. For applications where a shallower projection is needed, the Metro program includes split-section columns at narrower depths.
At 3-1/2 by 3-1/2 inches it is a square section. How it is applied against the cabinet end is an installation decision; the source does not specify a back face or an orientation.
No. This is a decorative wood column with no load rating. A structural opening requires an engineered post, a header, and in most cases a permit.
Yes. The Metro Columns program is available in cherry, maple, and alder across both full-section and split-section profiles, so the species can be matched across the run.
Cherry accepts stain, but species-to-species color matching is not guaranteed. For the closest result, finish the column and the adjacent cabinet components in the same batch using the same products.
Choose this column when the island end is exposed on two or more sides and a full 3-1/2-inch section will read better than a thin applied face.
